Fig. 7.—Bronze Age.
The Bronze Age yields up pottery which does not yet show the invention of the potter’s wheel. The work is still moulded by the hand, but the clay is better, and the forms begin to show clear indications of a sense of proportion and a considerable degree of choice. The shapes are in greater variety, and some of them certainly are good. Of the five examples (Figs. [3], [4,] [5], [6], and [7]) none are very bad, and two (Figs. 3 and 4), if not three, are excellent.
